#2 Mike, not to be critical, but you left out duplicitious, gutless, and totally insane. He is a Holy Mullahfuckah, after all. As Allan is my witness. ;->

#3 Maybe the Mullahs should start becoming worried that, with a few more stunts like this one, the Iraqi Muslims including Sunnis and Shiites, just might not be as stupid as they hope, and will shun differences to close ranks against their real enemies. People are stupid - but the Iraqi's aren't this stupid and freedom is a bright beacon.

#4 Oh cmon, if theres a crimewave in your neighborhood, somebodys gonna complain about the police, right? They may be incorrect, but it doesnt make them duplicitous, gutless, or totally insance, let alone a turd. Sistani is playing politics, at a time when his constituency is angry BOTH at the USA and the Wahabis. His rebuke sounds mild, and may lay the groundwork for support for tougher measures.
Would we rather he kept silent, and allowed Al-sadr to gain??

Once again - 1991 is remembered by the Shiites, as it apparently isnt remembered here. Its not handwringing but realism to acknowledge that they dont quite trust us because of that.
